244pp. Outstanding copy. No inscriptions. SYNOPSIS: In According to Queeney, a bold, often ribald and moving invention, Beryl Bainbridge takes the extravagant figure of Samuel Johnson, 18th-century scholar and wit, and brings his last 20 years to rumbustious life through the blunt and mocking observations of his mistress's firstborn daughter Queeney. Hurtling her readers into small and great events in the company of Garrick and Goldsmith, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Fanny Burney and Boswell, the years spin by. Johnson's wearisomely quarrelling household in Johnson's Court draws him increasingly to the sublime excesses of Streatham Court, presided over by his adored Mrs Thrale (whose wifely duties include poultices to testicles). This odd ménage is gossiped about and gawked at as child births and deaths, comeuppances and flirtations, swallowed buttons and skirmishes on staircases reveal as well as obscure unpalatable shifts of affection to the ageing Johnson and the composed but outraged Queeney. Bainbridge's handling of the troubled, demanding and contrite Johnson and of Queeney, first as child observer and then as reluctant adult correspondent, are especially vivid, quirky and captivating. And this creation of sheer delight is underlayed by a delicate attention to the vulnerabilities of the human heart. --Ruth Petrie--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review 'A stellar literary event. written with panache & an enviable economy. the biggest risk of her literary life' Margaret Atwood *'This is a small, wise book of small prose miracles. It is a larger miracle in this way: it makes us feel we see Johnson & his friends in unexpected & unfamiliar ways which are nevertheless convincing and authentic. I did not think anyone could do this, & still have no idea how Bainbridge pulled it off' Andrew Marr, Daily Telegraph.
